Is anyone a host family or willing to help me look for a host family? I will be in Japan for a year, and I am coming in September. Even if someone cannot host me for the full year, I really would like some place to stay when I get there.
I have searched for countless hours on the internet trying to find some. All the ones I have found have been either more expensive than an apartment or an hour or more from the school. Is that distance common for people staying with host families?
Thanks for your time.

I live in Mitaka so I'll see what I can do for you.
I'm pretty sure that the city has some kind of home stay program in place.
But college students often get into trouble with home stay families cos you think you are an adult but for the host family, they feel responsible once they take you so you might have to put up with curfews and other house rules that you may not be expecting.
I will get back to you soon.
